João Valadão from Portugal – Former Trainee at the Events Team
EMSA is a place where the long European history in maritime pairs with an exceptional working environment.
I joined the Agency in September 2017 as a trainee in the Events team. This opportunity allowed me to build upon previous experiences in event management by providing support to a wide range of meetings and training courses happening at EMSA.
Interacting with colleagues from all over the European Union enriched me personally and professionally, developing my understanding of the different dynamics within our community.
Later, I had the chance to develop my skills as a member of the Surveillance Unit, working with the Earth Observation team in promoting the CleanSeaNet and Copernicus Maritime Surveillance services.
For those who wish to contribute to the safety of our seas, EMSA is a place to look forward to.
